Record $600,000 Natural State Jackpot lottery ticket sold in Monette remains unclaimed
A lucky ticket worth $600,000 bought in Monette remains unclaimed after Wednesday’s state drawings. The prize is part of nearly $760,000 in total winnings that players have not yet collected. According to a news release, officials do not know who holds the slip.
The top ticket came from Jordan’s Kwik Stop in Monette in Craighead County. The winning numbers were 15, 16, 24, 32 and 34. The jackpot has now reset to $50,000.
Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Executive Director Sharon Strong said the prize was the highest in the game’s history.
“Such a big prize will benefit not only the lucky winner, but lottery-funded scholarships can be life-changing for college-bound students,” Strong said.
A second winning ticket worth $150,000 was sold at One 9 #1330 in Brinkley in Monroe County. That Powerball drawing had winning numbers of 7, 11, 12, 27, and 46. The Powerball was 26 and the multiplier was 3.
Other players also scored smaller amounts during the same games:
- Six LOTTO players across Arkansas won $1,500
- Two LOTTO players won $500
Lottery games generate revenue to fund higher education scholarships for students within the state. Prize winners typically present their winning tickets to agency claim centers to receive their payouts.
Ticket holders in Monette and elsewhere have 180 days from the draw date to claim their cash, ASL officials said.
